Inmates ride in a bus out of the Cojutepeque prison in El Salvador, Thursday, June 16, 2016. This prison, which houses more than a thousand 18th street imprisoned gang members, will be closed down by the government, since it has been unable to prevent the amount of illegal activities happening inside the prison walls. Inmates will be relocated to other medium-security prisons. (Photo by Salvador Melendez/AP Photo)
